I'm no hoon, but it does frustrate me enormously that dangerous behaviour goes on every day unchecked (unsafe/unsignalled lane changes or turns, tailgating, using mobiles, terrible lane keeping, etc.) but you do 10km/h over the posted limit with no-one anywhere near you and that's what generates a ticket.

It's not that we don't need speed enforcement, but the priority given to it, while other behaviour remains virtually unenforced, erodes confidence in the enforcement system and the agencies involved.
